Project description

udata-piwik

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/opendatateam/udata

This plugin provide integration between udata and Piwik/Matomo

Compatibility

udata-piwik requires Python 2.7+ and udata.

Installation

Install udata.

Remain in the same virtual environment (for Python) and use the same version of npm (for JS).

Install udata-piwik:

pip install udata-piwik

Modify your local configuration file of udata (typically, udata.cfg) as following:

PLUGINS = ['piwik']
# Piwik/Matomo site IDs
# this site will track front (template) events
PIWIK_ID_FRONT = 1
# this site will track back (API) events
PIWIK_ID_API = 1
PIWIK_SCHEME = 'https'
PIWIK_URL = 'stats.data.gouv.fr'
PIWIK_AUTH = '<32-chars-auth-token-from-piwik>'
# `client.track` method `requests` timeout
PIWIK_TRACK_TIMEOUT = 60  # in seconds
# `client.analyze` method `requests` timeout
PIWIK_ANALYZE_TIMEOUT = 60 * 5  # in seconds

Optional configuration

# Content tracking options. Default: None
#   - 'all': track all impressions
#   - 'visible': track impressions of visible items only (default refresh: 750 ms)
PIWIK_CONTENT_TRACKING = 'visible'

Testing on local env

$ docker-compose up
$ pip install -r requirements/test.pip
$ pytest

Changelog

4.0.0 (2023-11-20)

  • [BREAKING] Remove metrics computation with Matomo as a source (cf below) #273
  • Replace mongo legacy image in CI #266
  • Upgrade test and develop deps #284

Up until this version, metrics were tentatively computed from Matomo for pretty much every object of a udata instance. We found this method to be pretty inaccurate, since Matomo limits the number of records stored to roughly the most visited 1000 for a given "namespace". There's a way around that by using the data from the Live module of Matomo but it's not enabled on our instance for privacy reasons. We also needed to count hits that Matomo could not know of: resources (files) downloads made directly on our server.

Thus, this module now only does three things:

  • inject the Matomo tracking code in the templates
  • process events for tracking the API usage in Matomo
  • process events for tracking some Matomo goals

Metrics computation is now handled by https://github.com/opendatateam/udata-metrics and does not use Matomo as a source.
